Asian small business owner is arrested...

It will get heated. Can't take it, don't open the forum.

Sensible drug policy.
Just the other day I was thinking that the hood rats in Baltimore need more unfettered access to weed, meth, herion, and coke.
Do you want to reduce violence or moralize for the sake of moralizing?

People love drugs. They've loved drugs for thousands of years. Get over it and build rational, unemotional policy to make the best of it.
I feel like cities should be safe places to raise a family in. Parts of chicago, baltimore, and detroit resemble RoboCop more than I am comfortable with. The ever relaxing attitudes about drugs have done them no favors.

This would be acceptable for certain drugs but it's playing stupid to think it's the same for all drugs heroin,coke and others I'm sure you could name destroy masses and not by regulaton but by their nature
Do they not destroy masses now?
So your answer would be legalization?
Of course.

The "war on drugs" has made it exponentially worse.

Since you're going with the idealist route, how do you plan on eliminating drugs from human existence? Is it an attainable goal?

Don't unify all drugs as one it's the worst possible policy both for people against and for drug laws

What universe are you guys living in where heroin is not going to be easily accessible no matter what? You're not solving anything, just making fear-based justifications.

Simple fact people addicted to certain drugs will resort to other crimes to feed their addiction that destroys communities.

I have tried to open the wrong vehicle and the wrong hotel room door before, so I think it is possible, but there also could be more to it. Obviously a big difference in an accident and an execution and you have to prosecute correctly.
she's a cop, even if off duty. if she was going to be dishonest, why try for manslaughter or something similar, rather than getting off with no jail time for being a cop who fired at a suspected drug user or something?

Why boil it all down to the "War on Drugs" rather than the million other variables? Like a crackhead is the result of a commercial frying an egg.

We have to change the culture. Going to jail is a way to meet contacts and get more street cred. Glorifying drug use is cool.

Make heroin legal ok what happens when people don't have heroin? Should the government be waiting to supply it so you don't commit a crime to get it? Nonsense

What happens now when people don't have heroin? There's no difference at all. The same exact group of people will be affected.

Not all plans go as planned. Maybe it was a total accident. If not for the residents stating it is unlikely and introducing other evidence, her story would be more plausible. It still may be an accident. That is what they are investigating.

Do you think being a druggie is a destiny? Like there is no outside influence that creates them?

Why would I never try heroin, yet someone else does?

Your idealism is noble, but very naive. There is no means by which you can eliminate human desire to get high. There never has been and there never will be. Sorry. Moralizing about it is pointless.

Well what your saying ends up with the same outcome of it being legal or not. You want to get rid of a possession charge or something? If your house gets robbed by dope fiends your cool because it's legal? Come on man

It's the same outcome for the users. It's not the same outcome for the trade itself. Do you believe there was no difference between the Chicago Outfit supplying alcohol and legal corporations supplying alcohol? Either way, people become alcoholics or enjoy it casually.

Do you believe it was better, worse or exactly the same for gangsters in the 1920s to run the alcohol trade, as opposed to legal corporations?
